3G: A Killer Connection

3G -A killer connection was a good attempt at horror with sci-fi idea but was brutually slained by loose script and poor direction.

A young man's life changes overnight when he buys a new cellphone and receives a call from an unknown number.

After watching the trailer of 3G , you will feel urge to watch the movie but you would be solemnly disappointed by weak direction. The main problem with 3G is the indulgence of unnecessary songs which spoils the mood of the film and over-the-top acting by Sonal Chauhan. The movie itself does not run in one sequence as if there are multiple stories running parrallalaly. Screenplay is full of loop-holes. Editing is pathetic. Dialogues are senseless. Music is way to low. It is the cinematography and art direction which makes the film beautiful. Sonal Chauhan is wooden. It is Neil Nitin Mukesh who is the only silver lining in the movie. The talented actor emotes very well and carries off different personality with ease.

Overall , bad direction and loose screenplay spoils the film which otherwise could have been a great watch. Below average 1.5 /5

Sam (Neil Nitin Mukesh) surprises his girlfriend Sheena (Sonal Chuhan) with a visit to her to Fiji. Sheena accidentally drops his phone into water. Later on when they set out to purchase a new phone, Sam's interest is grabbed by a second hand phone. Nonetheless he is satisfied after verifying that the phone supports 3G facility which apparently is his only need. Sam receives a call from an unknown number which happens to be a lady in pain . Sam overlooks and lets it go. But this scenario repeats itself constantly also their appears to be a dual identity outlook in Sam's living. However interesting it may sound mark my words it is not. When u have got a hold of whats happening you make up your mind that well whats the reason behind it i gotta know. Well i tried very hard to like the things which leads us to the climax but it is so f**king annoying and boring. It doesn't bores you actually it is a mental torture to be precise. It has taken two geniuses to come up with this trash. Yes guys the movie we are talking about here is directed by two people. Talking about the different aspects of the film. The movie is technically zero. You can literally see that the scenes have not been dubbed aptly. The facial expressions and the dialogs do not match each other. The writing is awful. The attempt at making this a scary and thrilling venture turned out to be futile and kills the film itself. The performances are so damn poor i can't start to tell about it. I was like why did Neil has to do this after a fabulous David ? I wonder and ponder. I now understand why Sonal Chauhan has not been getting movies she is GOD-awful in the acting area. The direction is the worst part of it. The music is good to the ear but not a single song fits in , i mean the song starts instantly at any moment. WHAT THE F. The background score is also very poor , A horror movies key ingredient is the score. There are only two major background scores, one is during any rapid scene and the other is Neil Nitin Mukesh's phone ring tone. Not at all suggested. Don't even bother downloading. But its pleasurable to those who want to seen Sonal Chauhan in a bikini, and the ones who get excited by on screen kissing. REST PLEASE DON'T

The fact that Horror films have a decent pull in the Hindi viewers cannot be denied by anyone knowing the Indian market well. Yet, another important acceptable fact remains that today our Horror ventures have in fact reached an alarming saturation point, where we do need new, fresh ideas to serve the same terror again to the viewers willing to get frightened sitting in the theaters. Now quite thoughtfully, a similar attempt has been made in 3G which undeniably has a unique plot to offer interconnecting the haunting spirits with the mobile phones lying in our pockets.

Hence thinking from that perspective, 3G does have the novelty factor, which works really well as the film begins showcasing the charming beauty of Sonal Chauhan emerging from the sea. The exciting plot of a haunted phone, receiving some strange or weird calls from an unknown destination (probably from the wandering spirits) successfully generates the desired interest in the viewers and one becomes hugely involved in the film to know what will happen next? But unfortunately nothing substantial turns up in the entire first half and the narration just keeps moving around the annoyingly ringing phone and the loving pair, without any definite purpose.

Continuing with the same monotonous feel post intermission, 3G purely fails due to its erratic writing and confusing characterization which is not able to deliver the expected, right from the word go. For instance, if a phone shattered into pieces by hammer in front of a lady, resurfaces again simply from no-where right there on her bed, then she would ideally scream like hell and would not dare to even touch it. But Sonal in the film, holds its very calmly as if there is nothing unusual for her in its reappearance quite weirdly. Similarly it never gets clear to the viewer that whether Neil is a split personality or a person possessed by the spirit, who is there to serve her own hidden purpose in his body.

The film keeps progressing at an uneven pace with many repetitive scenes, due to which one loses the interest long before it all gets over. No doubt the beautiful camera-work is there capturing the eye catchy locations and few songs composed by Mithoon are pleasing too. But in absence of a gripping progression followed by a messy screenplay, 3G is never able to pick up after making a fairly decent start. Director Shantanu and Sheershak keep trying to fill in the shortcomings with many sensuous kisses and erotic scenes which are unable to provide any kind of momentum to the film. And in the end the viewer is really not interested in getting impressed from the appealing revelations made in its climax.

Revolving around only few characters 3G has Neil Nitin Mukesh once again trying his best to come up with a worth noticing act post David. Sonal Chauhan clearly indicates the insight that probably her stunning looks and skin-show can do the trick much better than her acting. Mrinalini Sharma is only there to do some erotic postures and Asheesh Kapoor becomes another victim of the film's lackluster writing.

In all, 3G wastes a fine innovative idea stressing more upon its over the top execution and final look, planned without any clear vision. The director due surely have a knack of some wacky haunting ideas relating the supernatural with our trendy technical gadgets, as used in their earlier written plot for AA DEKHEIN ZARA (2009), talking about a camera looking into the future. But here if only they had used the idea of an evil phone more entertainingly, 3G could have showed the result, providing the much needed horrifying entertainment as expected by the viewers. Nevertheless in the present version, you may still watch it in the comfort of your homes instead of the theaters but that too only if you must.

Fiji Islands is the only good thing about this movie - its gorgeous and breathtaking to the effect that you would seriously contemplate your next holiday in there. And then all good things come to an end.

The plot is hackneyed. The screenplay is incoherent making the proceedings unbearable. Coming from the writers of "Table No. 21" my expectations were on a higher note.

Niel Nitin Mukesh cannot act, period. Sonal Chouhan makes a good attempt and showcases her svelte body in the choicest costumes. Few songs stand out. DOP is excellent.

Watch it only with a group of your best buddies and make a spoof of every scene - yes, at-least it would serve a good laugh.
